PHILADELPHIA, Ia, Dec. y. A special
from Reading says The strike has de
velopcd the existence Of an unpleasant
sentiment between the Knights Of Labor
and lirothcrhoodo oi Locomotive Engineers
The latter, Il IL reliably stated, Offered Ia

to take out trains. There are 100 in this
city and vicinity, all brotherhood men,
who were discharged bv the former prcsi-
dent Of the Reading railroad, franklin H.
Govcn. Their places were taken 10y non
union men, who nov belong to the
Knights Of labor. Tho latter wcrc then
known ~ "rcals," aud Tor a long time
thcrr was bitter feeling in the commun.
ity against them, and especially NJ the
riots during the strike II 1877 In this city
resulted In an attack by the Fourth Rcgi.
mcnt National guarl- police, in which
about n dozen men wcrc Killed and about
scycnty.ivc or eighty Wcrc wounded. The
families which suffered. and their sym
pathilors, have never forgiven the men
who took the places ol the brotherhood
engineers. All the engineers employed on
the Reading uilroad prior TO the trouble Of
1877 are being heard from. They desired

much TO do with bringing about settle

their positions in the disastrous strike OF

THE ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS CASE.
Justice TichardsOn Discharges Ac-
cused Because Of the Decision
of the United states SUI
preHie Court.

c. w. Wright was before the Police
Court yesterday morning charged with
selling liquor by sample without license.
Considerable interest was felt in the
case because of the fact that it was the
first one which had arisen here since
the recent decision of the United States
Supreme Court in the Robbins case de
claring the laws imposing special
license taxes unconstitutional Mr.
George Bryan appeared as counsel for
the accused.
The only witness called was Officer
Lamkin, who made the arrest. He
said that he saw the accused selling
liouor. There were several other wit
nesses, but Justice Richardson did not
examine them. Counsel for the ac-
cused relied upon the decision above
referred to.
Justice Richardson dismissed the
case, saying that he could not distin-
guish it from the Robbins case, rs the
decision in the latter made no exemp-
tion Of liquor merchants. 1t is within
the police powers of State to say
where and by whom liquor may be
sold. il at all, but as the tax here was
obviously for the purposes of revenue
and not for police purposes it does not
come under this head.

up around us. and to pay honor where
il is 50 Justly due, We must keep them
fresh and green.
"We are impressed with the fact that
there is very noticeable want Of rev.
erence for the sacred past on the part
of the rising generation, and even OF
those who are older a lessening inter
est in our memorial days, and a care
less, inapprecia!ive manner in attend
ance upon their ceremonies.

we invite your earnest cooperation in
devising and adopting measures to
remedy ito strengthen in those now
growing up around us the virtues so
stiilingly illustrated in the lives OF our
noble dead, and. to perpetuate the
memories connected with their graves.
As one means to this end we submit
for your consideration, and recommend
on our own part, that the same day be
selected upon which, throughout our
dear land, all Of us may join in paying
proper respect TO the dead of the late
Confederacy. The memorial societies
here, whose tender care has kept green
the graves of more than 10000 of that
dead, embracing men from every
southern State, have selected the Both
Of May.
1--WE suggest this day as the best,
for the reason that then flowers will be
abundant in every part of the country,
and, being a national holiday, all who
choose can with less interruption to
business OF work give that day its pro-
per observance.
"Would not the knowledge that
everywhere in the South, on particu-
lar day and at some appointed hour, at
tap Of drum, rs it were, the friends
of those who died for a cause we loved
so well were taking up the line of
march for the ground consecrated by
their ashes, there to pay fitting tribute
to their memories? Would not such
knowledge create renewed interest on
the occasion, and desire for greater
knowledge of that cause?

gestions, with the hope that they will
commend themselves to your judgment
and bring about their adoption.
